Tribal People Try Apple Pie for the First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet pie for the first time. Most of them had never seen it before the camera started, so the first minute is questions — what is it, what's in it, how do you eat it — and then the plates go round.
What is pie?
Pie is a pastry case filled with something sweet or savoury and baked: American apple and pumpkin pie, British steak pie and shepherd's pie, Australian meat pies. The videos include both dessert and dinner pies.
What to watch for
Savoury pies make immediate sense — meat inside bread is a samosa idea — and go down well. Sweet pies with cinnamon and soft fruit are more foreign; pumpkin pie in particular, since pumpkin here is a vegetable for salan.
The comparison they always make
Samosa is the village pie. Any pastry with filling is measured against a good samosa, and the pastry usually loses on crispness while the filling is judged case by case.
